Lake Burunge Baobab Tented Lodge

🌍 Tanzania

📍 Tarangire

Lake Burunge Baobab Tented Lodge blends a big-lodge footprint with a luxury label at a value-forward price point. It sits west of Tarangire in the Burunge WMA, overlooking the lake and dotted with baobabs. It appeals to travelers who want a lodge-style experience with a pool and sunset views, and don’t mind a longer morning run to reach Tarangire’s riverbed loops.

Pricing: typically $345–$375 per double in high season; around $205–$225 in low season (Mar–May).

Thoughtful comparisons: Same-tier: Maramboi Tented Lodge (luxury; same corridor, slightly higher polish) and Tarangire Ndovu Tented Lodge (luxury; inside/edge of park, quicker access). Step up: Lemala Mpingo Ridge Lodge (premium luxury; elevated, panoramic, high finish). Step down: Burunge Tented Lodge (mid-range; smaller, simpler but same WMA).

Safari context: You’ll need early departures to be on park tracks at first light; reward is quiet sunsets over Burunge and easy birdwatching around camp.

Rooms

Thatched tented rooms on platforms with en-suite bathrooms and verandas overlooking bush or lake. Main lodge with expansive deck, swimming pool and shaded gardens. Larger capacity than pure tented camps, suited to groups/families wanting resort-style common areas.

Meals

Buffet breakfasts with hot options for early risers; picnic lunches for long drives; broad buffet dinners with multiple choices—family friendly. Sunset drinks on the deck with lake views are a highlight.
